❔ How do I look a bool method every 5 minutes?

So I have a bool method called WindowWatch(), and it works and returns true and false when I need it to. How do I make it so that I do it every 5 minutes? I feel like I'm not using the boolean method properly. Basically what I am trying to do is run WindowWatch() every five minutes. Code: https://pastebin.com/tvhXgY6k

1. You could use Timer class:

var _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(300000); // 5 minutes in milliseconds
        _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(WindowWatch);
        _timer.Enabled = true;

var _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(300000); // 5 minutes in milliseconds
        _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(WindowWatch);
        _timer.Enabled = true;

And set _timer.Enabled = false to stop. 2. Set WindowWatch to void. If you want to return something, make an Action<bool> callback instead.

I'm also surprised you need to go this low level importing the DLL. You'd think there would be a Net api for this, maybe in NuGet

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
